This is a secluded country cottage, well equipped, family and pet friendly with great views and lovely walks straight from the door. The only negative would be the bumpy track to the property but to us the cottage more than made up for this.

Carol2017-07-20T00:00:00Z

We loved staying at this place! It feels like a brand new "old world" home. Everything feels brand new, but in an old country style that is charming. It's quite remote and super quiet, a true getaway, but still only a few minutes from town if you need something. It is well equipped, with a full kitchen, although a very small refrigerator with no freezer, and it also had a nice front load washer and dryer. We had a lovely time in the English countryside. We would certainly stay there again. We didn't realize (maybe we missed this) that the 3 bedrooms are all upstairs, and the 2 bathrooms are downstairs. Not a problem, just good to know. Overall a great place to stay and a good value. And Harvie and Claire are very nice!

Bill2017-07-07T00:00:00Z

Perfect property with plenty of outer space with panoramic sunset view. Lovely kitchen fitted with everything you would need. Nice and helpful host. P.S. The house is way more awesome than it looks in the pictures.

Davide2017-07-09T00:00:00Z

Absolutely loved it!

Vivien 2017-08-09T00:00:00Z

Would highly recommend this cottage for a relaxing break. Location is a bit tucked in, however that is the beauty of this place by not being in a mainstream crowded place. The cottage is immaculate and has all the necessary amenities. We went as a group of 2 families and the kids loved their stay too.

Gayatri2017-08-25T00:00:00Z

We had a lovely short break at Harvie's cottage. It has great views, a big garden, it's very clean and tidy and has all the mod cons.

Matt2017-07-16T00:00:00Z

This house is fantastic. It is finsihed to a very high standard. Both bathrooms are great wet rooms that function superbly. Plenty of room in the dinning are and the TV room is larger than the pictures suggest. Both dinning room and TV room have fireplaces that you can burn coal or wood in - making for a lovely cosey experience (it rained heavily during our stay). We took two dogs and the house was great for them, plenty of garden for them to roam. The track leading up to the house is fine when taken at low speeds, one of our party had a Vauxhall corsa vxr and had no issues. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great hub to explore the local area

The Tamar Valley is a stunning, quiet, picturesque region with some beautiful villages including Calstock with its impressive Viaduct dominating the village, Calstock Quay was originally used for transportation of tin as there is a deep water navigable channel at the top of the tides, although the construction of the Tamar Valley Railway in the early 20th century led to most cargo being transported by rail. Further up stream is Morwellham Quay with its fantastic open air museum, Morwellham Quay has been awarded World Heritage Site status by UNESCO, the cultural arm of the UN, and is part of the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape. Tavistock is just over the border in Devon, an ancient stannary and market town on the edge of Dartmoor, it has a wealth of fine pubs, restaurants, supermarkets and tourist attractions including ruins of a Benedictine Abbey which was founded in 961.
Bodmin Moor, bisected by the newly expanded A30 is home to one of Cornwall#39;s Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Reaching a height of 1,377 feet above sea level at Brown Willy, Cornwall#39;s highest point. The heather covered granite moorland provides East Cornwall with the most stunning country views and rugged walks. Near Blisland you will find two of Cornwalls stone circles, the Trippet Stones and Stripple Stone Henge and just round the corner, one end of the famous Camel Trail. The 18 mile Camel Trail follows the route of the old railway along traffic free paths, providing a fairly flat cycle through Bodmin and Wadebridge out to Padstow, eminently suitable for families.The National Lobster Hatchery at Padstow neighbours Rick Steins empire on the North Coast. The Bodmin and Wenford Railway, the first steam operated railway in Cornwall, takes in 13 miles of countryside. Also just outside Bodmin is the Camel Valley Vineyard who have been winning awards for their home grown wine for the past 20 years. The National Trust have a number of properties nearby - Lanhydrock House, Trerice, Cotehele and Antony (used for Disney#39;s Alice in Wonderland), Carnewas and Bedruthan Steps. Slightly further afield is the Eden Project in St Austell. Bodmin Jail built in 1778, notorious for its public executions by hanging, was the first jail to be built housing inmates in individual cells. The Jail closed in 1927 and is now a museum open to the public, which during the First World War housed the Crown Jewels and the Domesday Book.

Callington Health Centre is located on Haye Road on the edge of the town and within walking distance of the coach house.

This little place is lovely! Was a perfect base for us. The only thing I was a little disappointed that there was no microwave. Would of been very handy for heating my little boys milk up. Apart from that couldn't fault this place.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Emma's unique and quirky coach house! The key instructions were clear and simple although when we arrived Emma's charming Mum was there so we didn't need them. Our welcome was warm and communication with Emma was easy despite her being abroad whilst we were there. The house was clean and comfortable and decorated impeccably with interesting books and lots of personality! We particularly enjoyed the fire! Thank you very much Emma for opening your home to us.

Johanna2016-06-05T00:00:00Z

Enjoyed a lovely overnight stay at this lovely newly refurbished coach house exactly as described.Emma was a most delightful and caring host very warm friendly and helpful even making sure we had goodies for breakfast. This is a great place to stay excellent for exploring Dartmouth

The accommodation is beautifully decorated . We felt very comfortable. The house has everything your heart desires. I am very grateful to Emma. Stupidly, I forgot my leather jacket and vest in the house. Although she is out of town, she reacted very understanding and friendly and will send me the stuff to Germany. Thanks for that Emma. We would love to come to stay again.

Character cottage in rural setting. Fields and woodland to explore. Great for kids, lovely views of Dartmoor and Tamar Valley. 7 miles from Tavistock, 17 miles from Plymouth. Short drive from beaches of South East Cornwall. Great walking nearby - Kit Hill Country Park, Tamar Trails Centre.

We think this was an amazing place to stay, not only for the cottage itself but for everything else it had to offer as well as being in a tranquil spot whilst still close enough to explore the attractions of Devon and Cornwall. It was also nice to have Tracey nearby in the farmhouse for any queries. Thank you to Tracey for sharing your lovely home with us. We loved every minute and embraced all it had to offer. Candle lit drinks in the ruin as well as the barn with its beautiful views, dinner on the secret garden and walks in the fields with the dogs - who've loved having the freedom of safe surroundings. It's also a perfect place to explore Devon and Cornwall. We've especially enjoyed Chagford on Dartmoor, as well as Looe, Polpero and Padstow on the south and north coasts. Our only complaint it was all over too soon! The welcome of scones and clotted cream and wine was a lovely touch as well

Andy2017-07-14T00:00:00Z

A wonderful location and a very high standard of accommodation made for a memorable stay with the family. Tracey is a delightful and considerate host, she had even baked a cake for our arrival. Highly recommended.

Tracey's place is magnificent. It's a truly perfect and peaceful place to stay. Tracey and her husband were wonderful and even left a cake for us!!! The cottage is perfect and very child friendly our toddler loved it! The area is also a wonderful base to explore the region. We couldn't recommend it enough. We will return.

Fabulous cottage, far exceeded my expectations. Beautifully decorated, very spacious and equipped to the max. Very safe for small children (I travelled with a 2 and 3 year old) The grounds are amazing and the hosts are very accommodating. A hugely successful trip and we have already booked to stay again. Thankyou Tracey and Peter

Emma2017-03-19T00:00:00Z

Perfect family holiday home. Tucked away in the south east corner of Cornwall off the beaten track and so peaceful but still very easy to travel around Cornwall from this location. The cottage was both gorgeous and practical with everything you need and the beds were all very comfortable. The garden is the star of this property and is absolutely stunning. We spent our entire first day exploring the gardens and surrounding fields. Our boys, 10 and 8, were barely in the house when we were there. Tracey and Peter were super friendly hosts and happy to chat about places to visit. We will definitely be back!

Esther2017-07-21T00:00:00Z

The cottage is absolutely stunning! Our two boys (4&6) were beside themselves with excitement and loved exploring the huge garden. Tracey was a fantastic host and made us feel very at home and welcome. The goodies in the kitchen were great and we loved the cake! Particularly the children! It was the perfect place to relax and we particularly loved the barn. After spending the weekend the only thing we wished for was that we could have come for the week. Thank you!

S2017-06-25T00:00:00Z

We had a lovely stay at this cottage! It's comfortable and cosy, while also being quite spacious. It's location is scenic and pretty, with friendly and welcoming hosts - we would definitely recommend a visit.

A charming holiday cottage situated in a rural Cornish village on the fringe of Bodmin Moor.
Mill Cottage is nestled in the pretty village of Rilla Mill on the fringe of Bodmin Moor. This charming Cornish Cottage dates back to the 1800's and has been lovingly restored by its current owners with many appealing features offering a quirky and authentic feel yet having a contemporary twist with two bedroom accommodation.

Ideal for couples, not very child friendly due to safety reasons

Rilla Mill is a pretty village in the valley bordered by the River Lynher where there are lots of lovely scenic woodland walks within a stones throw of the cottage. You can take a picnic and find a spot in Stara Woods to enjoy and observe the wildlife and tranquility. Bodmin Moor is easily accessible being approximately 3 miles away; with historic monuments such as the Cheesewring and Hurlers Stones (which was one of the film locations for Poldark)! and offers the opportunity of exploring miles of beautiful picturesque moorland. There is the popular open air "Sterts" theatre which has a busy summer programme and seats 500 which is only 1 mile away in the neighbouring village of Upton Cross.
The nearby towns of Callington & Liskeard lie within 6 miles and the market town of Launceston is approximately 7 miles where there are various supermarkets and retail outlets. At Liskeard there is a mainline railway station where you can enjoy a scenic train ride on a branch line to the fishing port of "Looe". The harbour city of Plymouth also lies within 20 miles which offers a more extensive range of retail and recreational facilities along with its tourist attractions.
Rilla Mill is easily accessible to both the North and South coasts for exploring different tourist attractions and coastal paths which allow you to enjoy miles of the breathtaking rugged Cornish coastline. Both the main dual carriageways of A30 and A38 are within 7 Miles of the cottage giving you the opportunity to explore other areas of this beautiful County.

This place is a fantastic spot nestled in the heart of the Cornwall countryside. It's nicely secluded and is untouched by tourism so it's a great little hideaway. Despite that, it's a nice drive to both coasts so you can have the best of both worlds. The cottage has all mod cons including means to watch Netflix etc if you'd like. Di kindly leaves instructions in that regard. Di is a wonderful host. She's warm, friendly, approachable and attentive. She's around if you need her but she lets you get on with your holiday too: a perfect host! Definitely stay here; you won't regret it!

Kelly2017-08-12T00:00:00Z

We had a fantastic time staying at Mill Cottage. It's a lovely comfortable clean accommodation in a great location to explore both Cornwall and Devon. Di welcomed us with a nice cream tea and we instantly felt at home. Highly recommend this cottage for anyone traveling to the area.

Marvin2017-08-28T00:00:00Z

Mill Cottage is great in everyway. The location is perfect for exploring all areas of Cornwall, whilst at the same time it is quiet and away from tourism. The cottage itself is beautiful, spacious, clean and has everything you need for your stay. Di is a wonderful host, we were welcomed with a cream tea, and she booked us a table for dinner at the local pub as soon as we arrived. Di was happy to leave us to explore for ourselves but was always on hand if we needed her. This is a perfect little hide away cottage.

Kim2017-08-22T00:00:00Z

The cosy cottage in the small quiet village is spacious, comfortable and well set out. It is immaculately clean and well equipped. The beautiful private garden has a stream running alongside which adds to the relaxing feel of the location. Di was a very friendly and welcoming host who was on hand if anything was needed. Her communication was excellent. Both Di and Emma who was finishing tending the garden on arrival were able to give us lots of information on the local area. Di had kindly left us inviting and delicious cream teas on arrival which immediately made us feel at home and enabled us to relax and enjoy our stay. We had a lovely short break thank you to the kind owners and Di our wonderful host.

Sharron2017-08-15T00:00:00Z

Very nice cottage. Diane was really helpful, even preparing a cream tea for our arrival, and communication was excellent throughout. Very confortable and beautiful home. Highly recommended

Great hosts and a great place to stay. Very tastefully decorated and a main living space bathed in light which made all the difference on a stormy Cornish day. I'd recommend to anyone looking for comfortable modern accommodation in a very peaceful and picturesque setting.

Roger2017-07-01T00:00:00Z

We had an absolutely wonderful stay. Angela welcomed us warmly and made us feel immediately comfortable. The house is just perfect, very tastefully decorated and so cozy. It offers really everything you need for a relaxing stay including a nice and well-equipped kitchen. We enjoyed the little private garden and because we had wonderful weather, we love to had breakfast outside in the sun, to relax and enjoy the silence. It was perfectly located for us to visit Cornwall from coast to coast, with its gardens and the lovely countryside. Angela and Phil are such lovely and friendly hosts. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip. Thank you for another great airbnb-experience and all the best. Nicole & Holger

This is amazing place, nice and quiet great for couples or on your own. Angela has made a lovely place, has everything you need. I will so be going back. Loved it xx

We had a great 5 night stay in Upton Cross, it's nicely located for exploring Devon and Cornwall. Swallows Nest was one of the best Airbnb' we have stayed in, plenty of room, very comfy bed, very quiet and in a very peaceful rural setting. Angela and her husband were great hosts, very friendly and helpful, communication before and during our stay was good, Angela met us to settle us in and the scones, jam and cream was nice after a long drive. There is a nice local pub just up the road for meals and good cooking facilities if you want to eat in. The washing machine/ dryer was great so we could catch up on some washing, would highly recommend a stay in Swallows Nest.

Beautiful, warm and bright cottage situated in the heart of traditional Cornish village in a designated area of outstanding beauty. A short walk to the local shop/post office, pub and excellent children's play area. A fantastic area for all walking, cycling, riding etc. Short drive to both North and South Coast beaches and vibrant city of Plymouth. My place is excellent for couples, families, and can accommodate a well behaved dog.

A traditional cottage that combines original features such as slate floors, raised ceilings and exposed original wood beams with extensive insulation and double glazing for perfect warmth and comfort. A large lounge is heated underfloor or by wood burner, and is equipped with dvd, television and iplayer/playback facility. Guests are invited to watch from a dvd collection in excess of 200 titles. The kitchen is spacious and well furnished with microwave, fan oven, induction hob, large work surfaces, large ceramic double sink, and breakfast area. The dining room is atmospheric and traditional, and all bedrooms have exposed wood beams and raised ceilings. Car can be parked outside the property on driveway , with further parking on the road. Bicycles and sports equipment can be stored in the garden to the back of the property. The garden has a patio area just outside the rear door that is ideal for breakfast or dining. There is a further garden beyond this, relatively private and lawned, which makes a wonderful quiet haven in which to relax. The whole house is fed by high speed wifi. It is a perfect weekend or weeks getaway for families, couples or friends who wish to see the real Cornwall. Perfectly situated for outdoor pursuits such as walking, hiking, cycling, horseriding, or relaxing within a friendly village with easy access to fantastic restaurants and pubs. Explore local theatre and film clubs, or go 1/2 drive to Plymouth for theatre, cinema, comedy and concerts.

Friendly village, centrally situated. Ideally placed for visiting coast and moors. There are many National Trust houses and gardens within very easy reach. Plymouth historic maritime city is 15 miles away, complete with Cinemas, Theatres, Aquarium, good restaurants and interesting seafront and Barbican area. Tavistock a market town is 6 miles away full of independent shops and its Pannier market. Launceston another historic town close to hand complete with Castle. The Tamar Valley is full of interesting walks, villages and river activities.

Great house in a very quiet, remote little village near Tamar Valley. Host Sue is absolutely lovely and very generous - the kitchen is fantastic - literally moving into someone else's house and being able to use all and any normal consumables. There was a lot of the owner's 'stuff' still around, but that was fine. The beds were very comfy, the kitchen very well appointed, bathroom/shower/wet room was great - kids loved the big, deep bath also! Lovely little garden we never used due to weather. Can just fit one big car at the front of the house - but that was enough for us. Little shop/post office in the village for essentials. It's a drive to anywhere though, and min 35 mins to the beach. 1 hour to north coast surf beaches, if that's what you're after. Nice stuff to do locally though around the Tamar Valley, and Carpenters Arms in the next village is worth a visit. Overall very happy.

Great stay, away from hustle and bustle. The cottage is secluded and peaceful and has everything you need for a great stay. We found Jacqui's advice on places to visit a great help and some useful info on places to eat in the visitors book. The three gorgeous chickens visiting the cottage helped to make our stay extra special

Great views, good walks, easy access to Cornwall's north, south and far west beaches. Good pubs and restaurants, Cornwall's mining heritage, adrenalin activities and more. A romantic hideaway, surprisingly light and spacious, beams in abundance, kingsize bed, rolltop bath, woodburner, WiFi, freeview TV, DVDs and CDs. Pretty garden with stream and pond; good for couples, solo adventurers and business travellers.

A 500 year-old listed Cornish cottage, lovingly and carefully restored to retain all its quirks and character - a few gently sloping floors and low beams, cloam oven, deep window sills and winding staircase - but with everything to make your stay warm, cosy and supremely comfortable. All you need to budget for are meals and days out.

Tutwell is a small hamlet of around 15 cottages and small farmhouses set above the River Tamar in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, also part of the UNESCO Cornish Mining World Heritage Site. Around 15 minutes from the main A30 just as it enters Cornwall, 15 minutes to the historic Devon market town of Tavistock and 40 minutes to the "Ocean City" of Plymouth. The nearest shop/post office/cash point is just over 2 miles away

An idyllic location for solitude and peace, Spring Cottage is simply marvellous. The warm welcome ( with homemade apple and elderflower cordial and delicious cake ) was divine and just what was needed on a hot day. Sally has created a beautiful home away from home with little luxuries thrown in for good measure : ) Lounging outside after the sun had passed behind the house, I enjoyed hours of reading and listening to the birdsong. Relaxing in the cool and inviting cottage itself was nothing short of restorative for body and soul. I really can't say enough wonderful things to convey how great my stay truly was.. I would highly recommend Spring Cottage and will be coming back as soon as I can!

This is a stunning cottage worth visiting at all times of the year. It is in a beautiful part of the world, very quiet. Sally is a wonderful host, ready to help or give advice about things to see or do. When I arrived there was fresh bread, eggs, chutney, biscuits and the most amazing fresh apple juice. I had a wonderful stay and would recommend it to anyone. It is a most romantic cottage, the perfect place to take that special someone. Can't wait to go back!

Warren2017-09-01T00:00:00Z

If you are looking for a couples retreat or a private sanctuary, look no further than Spring Cottage. The pictures of Spring Cottage are beautiful, but being there in person is without compare. Sally is a wonderful host and set us up with a charming and cozy hideaway. The cottage was spotless. The kitchen had everything we needed without feeling cluttered. The bed was extremely comfortable with luxurious linens. The refrigerator was stocked with homemade apple juice, fresh hen eggs and delicious freshly baked cupcakes. From the moment we arrived, it felt like home. Tutwell is a beautiful hamlet which has wonderful pubs nearby (the Royal Inn) and amazing scenic walks. Tavistock and the Moors are easily accessible by car and definitely worth a visit. I would not hesitate to recommend this accommodation to anyone.

Joshua2017-07-10T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderfully relaxing and romantic break here. Tucked away down winding country lanes is the cosiest and comfiest cottage, a complete break from hectic city life. Sally was the perfect host, welcoming us with delicious home made treats and fresh eggs laid by her own hens, even whipping up a fresh batch of scones so we could enjoy the traditional Cornish cream tea (delicious!). Evenings spent sitting outside enjoying the view across the valley were heavenly. Thanks again Sally, looking forward to seeing you again!

We had a lovely stay in Holt cottage. Catherine and Paul made us feel welcome with a warm scone cream tea on arrival. The cottage was cosy and well laid out and the large conservatory was ideal to relax in with a coffee or an early morning breakfast. The local pub which is also owned by Catherine and Paul was a real treat. Service, food and the atmosphere were lovely. We would recommend staying here and have already discussed booking for a 2nd visit.

Mark2016-09-25T00:00:00Z

Catherine and Paul were both lovely and very welcoming on arrival. They run the local pub so picking up keys etc was very swift and it's less than a 2 min walk to the cottage from there. Cottage itself is lovely and much bigger than it looks in the photos. Very warm thanks to sun trap conservatory, storage heaters and log fire. Fine for self catering; you can also eat at the pub if feeling lazy - menu is delicious - it was packed every time we went past. Beautiful surroundings whether you chose to stay local or go off exploring. There's a great book in the cottage with lots of local myths / ghost stories / places to visit if you don't fancy googling. Catherine and Paul can also recommend local hot spots. Would definitely go again!

Catherine was great in welcoming us to her cottage in Tamar Valley. We met Catherine at the local pub where she gave us a great overview of the cottage and the surrounding area. The cottage itself was immaculate and exactly as described. Catherine left us homemade scones, coffee, and tea for for breakfast, as well as chocolate panna cotta for dessert. Everything was delicious. The neighborhood was remote and very peaceful, but it was still easy to get to all the surrounding areas via a short drive. The local pub (also run by Catherine and her family) was great. We ate there both nights (as it was so good the first night) and tried a variety of delicious meals/beverages. I would highly recommend staying at Holt Cottage and I can't wait to go back myself for a second visit.

A fabulous cottage exactly as described in a beautiful area. Catherine and Paul were super hosts and couldn't do enough for us. They also run the pub which is a gem. Thanks for everything. We will return.

Just back from the most fabulous 4 days at Holt Cottage. Cath and Paul were very welcoming showing me around their beautiful cottage and Cath even popped back with homemade scones, clotted cream and jam for a delicious cream tea. The cottage had everything you needed and the quality and cleanliness was outstanding and it felt like home. The conservatory is a great addition, apart from the stunning views, it held the heat, so found the cottage very cosy indeed and didn't need the heating on. Although confess, as a lover of an open fire, could not resist lighting the wood burner that Paul had kindly made up ready, on one of the slightly cooler evenings! The view was stunning and the different cloud formations over the 4 days were amazing. The Royal Inn, that Paul and Cath run, is literally 5 minutes walk and serves delicious meals, so very handy! The location is idyllic, off the beat track - yet, easy to visit the North Cornish coast, Dartmoor and beyond. My dog and I loved our stay and wished it had been a week and we look forward to visiting again. Thank you so much, Cath and Paul for letting us share your gem!

This was my second time here and it was just as enjoyable as the last. Lovely cream tea, very cosy and we will be back again :)

It is unusual to be staying in a little village yet having the advantage of exceptional amenities ( summer theatre....)within walking distance .
Central for easy access to the North & South cornish coastal resorts , and beside the local moors filmed in Poldark !

The Apple Loft is an airy and open studio for two , looking out over Latchley and the Tamar Valley. Perfectly situated for exploring Devon and Cornwall, and close to Tavistock, Dartmoor, Plymouth and all the coasts. Baby friendly by arrangment.

This airy open-plan Apple Loft is set up with all the necessities as well as a lovely view. It is part of the old stone barn that held the apple press when the valley was filled with orchards. It has a high ceiling and there is central heating, plenty of hot water and a wood burning stove. The table and chairs are in front of the large wooden double doors overlooking the valley. On a warm evening the doors can be opened to take in the view and watch the swallows across the yard. The sofa and chairs face the wood burning stove (wood supplied) and a TV. The little kitchen area boasts a gas stove, oven, microwave, fridge and all the basics. If you need something specific just ask. A comfy good size double bed with quality linen and duvet is up a small set of stairs on the elevated mezzanine. The separate bathroom contains a shower/bath and toilet. Private off road parking included. A small private garden/courtyard with table and chairs completes the offering.

The Apple Loft is situated on the edge of Latchley, a quiet pretty little historic village, with lovely neighbours and a countryside setting. The Tamar Valley is designated an Area of Outstanding Beauty. Historically, the valley has many signs of its copper mining of the 1800's including pumping houses, shafts, and chimneys. The valley is part of the World Heritage Site for Mining. You can walk from Latchley through Duchy of Cornwall woodlands up river along the Tamar to Luckett and Horsebridge. Or down river to Gunnislake and beyond.

We had a lovely getaway at the apple lodge, it's a beautiful place and Margaret was lovely and kind - happy to attend to any needs. Highly recommend walking to the royal inn at horsebridge (take some walking shoes or wellies!). Overall a great retreat thank you

Beautiful, cute and cosy little loft! Perfect for a little break away from the city. Everything we needed was in the cottage including our own fire and garden! Would love to come back again.

Margaret was fantastically welcoming, we were made to feel immediately at ease in this beautiful hideaway. The crackle of the fire coupled with the rain on the roof was utterly magical. It's a beautiful place and a perfect escape from the city.
